Luba 3 AWD 3000 or Luba mini 2 AWD 1500

0

Hi Mark,
Been watching your youtube channel and some fantastic information you provide.
I’m torn between the Luba 3 AWD 3000 and Luba mini 2 AWD 1500.
I have a couple of properties that i would like to be able to utilise the mower one is relatively flat and around 800m2 where the other is a steeply sloped garden of around 700m2
The mini 2 AWD 1500 would be suitable for the size of lawn at 800m2+700m2 but i like the idea of the 165W motors in the Luba 3 against the 88W in the mini 2.
How do the two compare regarding edge cutting ? does the Luba 3 manage to get a close edge cut with the 2 larger cutting discs?
Does the Luba 3 have any other upgraded features other than the motors?
Does the mini 2 suffer from grass getting stuck and building up underneath and is the Luba 3 better regarding this?
Finally the Luba 3 AWD 3000 is roughly £700 more expensive than the mini 2 AWD 1500 do you think its worth the additional money?

Hi! Thank you for the kind words about the channel, I’m glad the videos are helping you out.

Between those two, my personal choice is the LUBA Mini 2, which I actually use on my own 600m² lawn. Here is why I think it might be the better fit for you:

Edge Cutting & Safety - The LUBA Mini 2 features a separate side-cutting disc, which is ideal for getting a closer finish. The LUBA 3, with its two larger discs, actually leaves more edge trimming to do unless the mower can physically overhang the edge. My neighbor has the LUBA 3 AWD, and because he has a steel edge with a drop-off, he has to map with a small gap to avoid the mower going over and breaking the blade disc (which actually happened on his previous LUBA 2). This means he has to trim those edges manually.

Maintenance & Grass Buildup - The Mini 2 is actually superior when it comes to grass buildup. It has a protective plate over the top of the blades (you'll see this in my videos) that prevents grass from wrapping around and stopping them from rotating. The LUBA 3 doesn't have this, so it requires much more frequent maintenance to clear out packed grass.

Portability & Mapping - Since you are looking to maintain two separate properties, weight is a huge factor. The LUBA 3 is very heavy and large, making it a struggle to load into a vehicle. The LUBA Mini 2 is much more manageable for transport. One thing to consider: how are you planning to map two individual lawns at separate properties? You would likely need to use the "Drop and Mow" feature, as you can't easily run two entirely separate maps on one machine.

Is the LUBA 3 worth the extra £700? The LUBA 3 does have triple guidance technology (LiDAR, Vision, and RTK), which is great for gardens with heavy tree coverage or complex obstacles, but it sounds like your lawns might not be complex enough to need it. While the 165W motors are powerful, the 88W in the Mini 2 are more than capable for your sizes.

If you can use the LUBA Mini 2 effectively on that slope, it is the mower I would go for. It’s easier to maintain, better at edges, and much easier to move between houses.

    Hi Mark, Many thanks for your reply and advise. Yes i remember in your VLOG on the Luba mini 2 you were extremely complimentary of it and it looks an awesome bit of kit. forgot to mention that the garden at the second property does have alot of tree and hedge cover! . Which you mentioned is an advantage of the Luba 3 with the triple guidance technology. Still a bit for me to mill over i think ! thanks again for your advice and great VLOGS, Cheers Mike
